A Common Reedbuck (Redunca arundinum) is a medium-sized antelope found widely across sub-Saharan Africa, favoring grasslands and wetlands near rivers, floodplains, and marshy areas. It is known for its cautious nature and preference for tall grass cover.

• Size: Adult Common Reedbuck typically weigh between 40–65 kg (88–145 lbs). They stand about 70–90 cm (28–35 inches) at the shoulder, with males slightly larger and heavier than females.
• Color: The coat is yellowish-brown to grey-brown, often with a slightly shaggy texture. The underparts are paler, and the fur can appear woolly, especially around the neck and shoulders.
• Face Markings: Common Reedbuck have subtle facial markings, including faint darker lines from the eyes to the nose and a lighter muzzle. The ears are large and often edged with white fur.
• Horns: Only males have horns. The horns are short, thick, and forward-curving, typically measuring 20–35 cm (8–14 inches) in length.
• Diet: Common Reedbuck are grazers, feeding primarily on grasses, particularly lush, tall species found in moist habitats. They are most active during early morning and late afternoon, resting in dense cover during the heat of the day.
